No definite announce ment has been made, however, as to whether the Red Cross will endeavor to meet this particular force of sol diers when they reach the Brunswick junction and offer them some sort of entertainment in acknowledgement of their accomplishments in France and as a small token or appreciation for the service they have rendered their country, but it is very probable that such will be the case, as Wilmington's Red Cross chapter is always eager to seize an opportunity "to show some kindness to the boys In khaki. In an nouncing last night that the Red Cross is preparing to entertain soldiers re turning from - France, Mrs. Cutfhbert Martin stated that the released sol diers from training camps who have already arrived in Wilmington will be expected to share the entertainment.

SOLDIERS' RECORD BOOK FOR THE COUNTY ARRIVES Will Contain Complete Record of New Hanover's Heroes The record book in which is to be inscribed the names of all men of New Hanover county who have been called into the service of the country since the United States entered the -world-war, the purchase of which was au thorized by the county commissioners several months ago, "has arrived and is in the posaession of County Auditor John A. Orrell, who will be glad to receive information of New Hanover sons and transcribe it into the book as a permanent record to be preserved with other county records. The book contains between 750 and 800 pages and is neatly bound in a red leather cover with index for the convenience of persons seeking infor mation of men who served during the great war. Mr. Orrell stated yester day that the book is nothing like large enough to contain the names of all the men Who have been called in to the service and it is possible that another book will have to be secured. However, it is not expected that the record of all men will pa kept as it will be impossible to get the desired information unless it is brought in by the men cr their relatives, and it is natural to assume that a certain num ber will, neglect this matter, which is of vital importance to the men them selves, since it will show just what part they had in the conflict. When properly filled out each page will contain the family record, includ ing the place and date of birth, par ents' names, occupation, married or single; the department of the service In which he served, when enlisted or drafted, company, regiment, captain and colonel of company and regiment, when he went overseas and when and where engaged, wounded or killed and when discharged from the service. When the records are completed the book will contain much information that will be of a great deal of inter est in years to come. As stated, it will be impossible for the blanks to be properly filled out unless Mr. Or rell is furnished the necessary infor mation and relatives and friends of men in the service are requested to supply it.

Many homes were made happy on Christmas day by the generosity of those more fortunately situated from a financial standpoint; provisions were distributed among poor families of. the city, while toys were given the chil dren. The Elks distributed several hundred dollars worth of provisions Christmas morning, each basket go ing to a family in need.

Many people thronged the streets and they were in a happy frame of mind. v The usual fire chackers were lacking, and the day was sanely ob served. There was some inclination on the part of a few to use revolvers and shotguns to create a noise since they were unable to procure fire works, but the activity of the police prevented this on a large scale. There were only a few. attempts to observe the jday-in this manners by-white peo ple, but quite a number of colored boys were arraigned in recorder's court yesterday morning charged with shooting fire arms in the streets.

T.'NORSWORTHY, v r 9U Austell, Bld AtlautaGa,i PORTO RICANS WILL RETURN TO ISLAND City of savannan- weaves Port This Evening With 1,300 Islanders Bound for Home. Approximately . 1,200 Porto Ricans are scheduled., to arrive in Wilming ton this morning from FayettevSlle to J embark upon the City , of Savannah preparatory to returning to their na tive island. This group of islanders disembarked at this port from the City of Savannah three months ' ago and were transferred to Fayeteville where they were used to assist in con struction work at Camp Bragg. Being no longer needed there, the government is now sending tnem back home, according to terms of tne agree ment between the Porto Ricans and the department of labor. The Porto Ricans will be taken aboard the City of Sa vannah Immediately upon arrival here. The vessel is scheduled to leave port this evening and turn her prow to wards Porto Rico. The City of Savannah arrived in port last Tuesday afternoon, after stopping at SouthpoTt during the morning to take on 101 Porto Ricans who have been stationed at the fort since the City of Savannah made this port five weeks ago with a second group of Porto Ricans destined for Camp Bragg. They arrived here just after the ar mistice was signed, and fdund await ing them instructions from Washing ton to return immediately to Porto Rico. While the vessel was in port, how ever, many of the islanders, who were very thinly clad and poorly equipped, cohtTcated pneumonia. The disease quickly became epidemic ' and Captain Borum, of the City of Savannah, land ed the siek at Fort Caswell for treat ment. They were placed in the hos pital at the fort and given careful medical attention, and those who had not contracted the disease were fur nished with uniforms and warm cloth ing and taught to drill. They were forced to go through military maneu vers every day in order to keep them fit, and according to report from the fort, they did not relish the exercise at all. Approximately 30 of the island ers died at the fort. Their remains were brought to Wilmington and in terred in the national cemetery. While discussing the situation last night, Captain Borum stated that all of the Porto Ricans have now recovered and are happy over the prospect of re turning to their homes. While the islanders were sick at the fort the Red Cross chapter of this city assisted in relieving their -unfortunate condi tion by furnishing them with warm under-garments and proper equipment for this climate. The City of Savannah, a steamer of 4,738 tons commanded by Captain Borum, has been engaged since last September in transporting Porto Ricans to the United States to be -employed as laborers at. government ship yards and military camps. During this period she has landed islanders at Brunswick and Savannah, Ga.; Charles ton, S. C, and Wilmington. She has carried as many as 2,000 Porto Ricans on a single trip. When the steamer leaves port this evening she will have aboard her, in cluding the group of 100 picked up at Southport Tuesday, approximately 1, 300 Porto Ricans. Not all of the island ers brought to this country by the City of Savannah, hawover, i;are re turning to their native home. Several pf them have signified their intention of settling in Wilmington and making their fortunes in this land of high wages and wealth unlimited, as it ap pears tor them.

TREE AT ACADEMY ENJOYABLE Salvation Army Gladdened the Hearts of Many Children. ' Gifts Distributed to Approximately 400 Kiddles -on - the Afternoon of Christmas Day Address y Mayor Moore The poor,, children of the city were Jiot forgotten by Santa Claua during Christmas,, for the Salvation Army ar ranged .for him to visit the Academy of Music Wednesday afternoon and distribute presents to the poorer chil dren of the city who gathered there to enjoy the Christmas tree celebra tion staged Dy the S. A. at 3 o'clock. The annual Christmas entertain ment of the Salvation Army was ar ranged on a, larger scale this year than ever ibefore. Heretofore the tree has been set up in the Salvation "Army hall on Orange street, but last Christ mas many of the children were turned away from the hall because accommo dations there were insufficient to take care ojf the large crowd. Accordingly when Commandant George Morris be gan to arrange his plans for the en tertainment this season he determined that preparations would be made t6 entertain all who attended the Christ mas tree celebration. For that reason the Academy of Music, was selected as the place for the entertainment, which proved to be one of the most' enjoy able and successful celebrations ever held under the auspices of the Salva tion Army. Approximately 400 chil dren were made happy through the distribution of gifts from theVhrist mas tree. Each of the girls in the audience was- presented with a doll, and the boys were given horns, drums and similar toys dear to the heart of younfg America. The dolls, 200 of them, were dressed by the young lad ies of the Y. W. Cv A. Miss David son, secretary of the association, fur ther assisted the Salvation Army by co-operating with Mrs. George Morris, wife of the commandant, in decorating the stage and the Christmas tree. The entertainment opened with the singing of "America" by the audience, and an address by Mayor P. Q. Moore followed. Mayor Moore, after talking at length upon the meaning of Christ mas and the particular causes for joy andhappiness during this Yuletide, the first peace' Christmas in five years, discussed the merits of the Salvation Army and highly complimented that organization up'bn the great amount of good work it is, carrying an among the needy and destitute people of the city. Rev. Dr. W. H. Milton, rector of St. James' church, at the close of Mayor More's address, read the story of The Magic Mantle, " a little tflay with a moral, whidh was acted in pantomine by Miss George. Miss I. E.

The mother and daugh ters sought to purchase it with their wealth, while the servant whose purse contained only a few pennies despaired of finding the mantle and devoted IJsr self to aiding;, the poor and helpless with whom she came in contact. As a re ward lor her kindness of heart the Gray Lady, the fairy godmother of the Cinderella, presented her with the Magic Mantle. The moral of the lit tle sketch, that happiness is gained only through loving service and kind ness to others, is obvious. The part of the Gray Lady was well played by Miss Whitman, while Miss Morris cap ably portrayed the maid. The lower floor of the Academy was well filled with children who eagerly welcomed Santa Claus when he ap peared to distribute the gifts. Many of their elders also: were present and apparently enjoyed the entertainment and entered into the spirit of the oc casion as enthusiastically as the ohil dren. As the children left the Acad emy, each was presented with a box containing candy, fruit and nuts. Maj. Joseph A. Wilkinson, left last ilght returning to Camp Jaekson, S.
